>How did 3H save a series that was doing better than ever?

In fact, it actually damaged the series. If they made actual good games the series would have steadily improved its popularity.
Instead 3H was very popular, but now 80% of those new fans will NEVER play another FE anymore after that unsufferable slog.
Which is also why Engage sold so poorly despite being objectively MUCH better in any regard except being a homo-erotic visual novel wannabe.
